Crafted At The Edge Of The World: TRÄ•KÁL Is Now Available In Malaysia!

Inspired by the untamed beauty of Patagonia and distilled using hand-foraged botanicals native to the region’s ancient forests, TRÄ•KÁL is a spirit that delivers a uniquely smooth and herbaceous profile that reflects the purity of its South American origins.

Deeply rooted in Patagonian tradition, TRÄ•KÁL was created in collaboration with local communities who have long relied on the region’s native botanicals for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Meraki Atar

 

The First Warrior Into Battle

The name TRÄ•KÁL is derived from two words in the indigenous Huilliche language — “TRÄ”, meaning valor and courage, and “KÁL”, meaning act or action. Together, the name translates to “the first warrior into battle”, reflecting the pioneering spirit, resilience and adventurous essence deeply rooted in Patagonian culture.

By incorporating hand-foraged ingredients and traditional knowledge passed down through generations, the spirit pays homage to the culture, craftsmanship and enduring connection the people of Patagonia share with their natural surroundings.

As Malaysian consumers continue to embrace artisanal spirits and elevated cocktail culture, TRÄ•KÁL introduces a refreshing departure from conventional gin or whisky experiences. Balancing earthy complexity with crisp botanical notes, the Patagonian spirit invites drinkers to explore a taste shaped by nature, craftsmanship and a deep connection to heritage.

Where can you find TRÄ•KÁL in Malaysia?

Meraki Atar

As a unique spirit that carves out its own category, TRÄ•KÁL is introducing itself to Malaysia through a focused rollout, starting where great drinks and conversations happen.

Phase 1: Cocktails and Resto-Bars

To start, TRÄ•KÁL will soon be available at selected independent cocktail bars, speakeasies, neighbourhood restaurants, and boutique hotel lounges across Kuala Lumpur.

Focusing on flavour exploration, local bartenders will feature TRÄ•KÁL in creative signature cocktails that showcase its crisp pear, apple, and wild botanical profile.

Phase 2: Specialty Retail Outlets

As more people discover the spirit, TRÄ•KÁL will be expanding into retail spaces. Discerning consumers looking to stock their home bars will eventually be able to purchase bottles directly through premium wine and spirit retail boutiques, and specialty outlets.

Availability & Inquiries for Trade & Private Buyers

Due to the first consignment being highly limited, TRÄ•KÁL is currently being managed directly by the exclusive Malaysian distributor, Meraki Atar.

Hospitality operators, venue owners, and hoteliers interested in commercial consignment off-take, as well as individual consumers looking to purchase single bottles for their private collections, can contact the distribution team directly to secure an allocation.

For inquiries and private purchases, you can contact Meraki Atar via email (sales@merakiatar.com) or via WhatsApp (+60 19-931 0482).

 

For more information on TRÄ•KÁL, you can check out their website here.

Stay tuned to Hype for more updates on where you can get your hands on this unique new spirit!

5 Ways Malaysians Can Celebrate Hari Gawai 2026

As Hari Gawai draws near, East Malaysia comes alive with music, laughter, and the familiar warmth of family gatherings. Celebrated every 1st and 2nd June, Hari Gawai and Pesta Kaamatan are deeply rooted harvest festivals that carry a strong sense of gratitude, togetherness, and hope for the year ahead.

For many Malaysians, the festivities are also a chance to experience the rich culture and traditions that make East Malaysia so unique. From longhouse visits to cultural showcases and festive food, here are five ways people can soak in the spirit of Gawai and Kaamatan this season.

Experience the Real Spirit of Gawai at a Traditional Longhouse

Longhouses have been a cultural staple for many indigenous communities in Sarawak, particularly among the Iban and Bidayuh people. During Gawai, you’ll hear traditional music playing in the background, taste festive delicacies, and listen to stories shared between generations.

Cultural Performances Happening Around Town

Across malls, community centres, and public venues, traditional Ngajat dances and live sape performances are often part of the celebrations. Beyond the entertainment, these performances help preserve cultural traditions while introducing younger generations to the richness of Bornean heritage in a modern way.

Indulge in Traditional Gawai Food and Tuak

Of course, no Hari Gawai celebration would be complete without food. Open houses usually serve Manok Pansoh, glutinous rice delicacies, and local kuih. Tuak, the traditional rice wine often associated with Gawai, also continues to be an important symbol of friendship, hospitality, and celebration.

Traditional Beauty Pageants

Another highlight is the celebration of traditional beauty pageants such as Kumang Gawai and Keling Gawai. These pageants go beyond physical appearance. There is also a strong emphasis on cultural identity, heritage, and traditional craftsmanship. Contestants take the stage in beautifully crafted traditional outfits, carrying themselves with confidence while proudly representing their culture and heritage.

Keep Your Traditional Attire Fresh and Festive-Ready with Dynamo and arFUM

As festive celebrations continue throughout the season, many Malaysians are also preparing their traditional attire for gatherings, performances, and open houses. With treasured garments often stored away for months, proper fabric care becomes essential to maintain the vibrancy, freshness, and quality of these meaningful outfits.

Dynamo and arFUM are bringing extra excitement to the celebration season through the Hari Gawai campaign themed “Kilauan Pesta, Haruman Gaya”. Positioned as the perfect festive laundry duo, Dynamo helps preserve the vibrancy of clothes while tackling unwanted odors. Meanwhile, arFUM delivers a long-lasting premium fragrance experience designed to keep clothes smelling fresh throughout long festive days and gatherings.

To make the celebrations even more rewarding, consumers can also participate in the Dynamo & arFUM Hari Gawai Spend & Win Contest, running from 25th May to 15th June 2026. Consumers who spend RM30 and above in a single receipt on participating products at selected outlets can submit their entry. Attractive prizes including Insta360 X5 cameras and RM50 Touch ‘n Go eWallet reloads are up for grabs.

As Malaysians come together to celebrate culture, family, and tradition this Hari Gawai, the festive season serves as a beautiful reminder that heritage continues to thrive when communities gather to honour and preserve it together.

Pos Malaysia Launches Parrots of Malaysia Special Stamp Collection

Deep within Malaysia’s tropical rainforests, vibrant flashes of green, blue, and red take flight — a living testament to the nation’s extraordinary biodiversity. Yet these striking and intelligent birds face growing threats to their survival.

Pos Malaysia Berhad, the national post and parcel service provider, is shining a spotlight on the nation’s protected parrots with the launch of the Parrots of Malaysia Special Stamp Collection, bringing together the art of philately with the cause of wildlife conservation.

Pos Malaysia Berhad

Developed in collaboration with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN) Peninsular Malaysia, this special commemorative issue reflects a shared commitment to preserving Malaysia’s unique natural heritage and ensuring ecological balance for future generations.

 

Why parrots?

Pos Malaysia Berhad

Parrots play a vital role in the ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal and forest regeneration. Highly valued for their intelligence and distinctive plumage, these birds are protected under wildlife conservation laws to ensure their continued survival.

The collection features two beautifully illustrated stamp designs and a specially crafted miniature sheet enhanced with die-cut printing, which gives the stamp a distinctively shaped edge that mirrors the natural silhouette of the parrots, adding a unique tactile and visual dimension to the collection.

Pos Malaysia Berhad

Three protected parrot species native to Malaysia’s rainforests are showcased:

  • Long-tailed Parakeet (Psittacula longicauda) — Fully Protected under Act 716; IUCN Red List: Vulnerable (VU)
  • Blue-rumped Parrot (Psittinus cyanurus) — Fully Protected under Act 716; IUCN Red List: Near Threatened (NT)
  • Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot (Loriculus galgulus) — Protected under Act 716; IUCN Red List: Least Concern (LC)

 

Available starting 31 May!

Pos Malaysia Berhad

The Parrots of Malaysia Folder Set is priced at RM66.30 and includes a complete range of philatelic items in two stamp designs – RM1.00 (Blue-rumped Parrot) and RM1.30 (Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot) stamps, a miniature sheet, a First Day Cover bearing the stamps, another First Day Cover featuring the miniature sheet, and an exclusive folder produced specifically for this release. The curated selection offers a comprehensive and collectible presentation of the theme.

The Parrots of Malaysia stamps will be available for purchase starting 31 May 2026 in conjunction with World Parrot Day, at 90 Philatelic Bureaus nationwide, including 13 General Post Offices, as well as selected post offices and the Pos Malaysia online store at www.pos.com.my/shop, while stocks last. For states that do not operate on 31 May 2026, sales will commence on the next working day.

 

The celebration continues at bird parks across the country

Pos Malaysia Berhad

In conjunction with this launch, Pos Malaysia is collaborating with selected bird parks nationwide to hold first day sales at the following locations, each featuring a special Parrots of Malaysia commemorative cancellation bearing each park’s name:

  • KL Bird Park – 31 May 2026

PETA Suggests Vegan Meals for Kajang Prison Inmates Including Najib Razak

In a letter sent to Kajang Prison Director, Mohd Sharin bin Hj Sabtu, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) urged him to implement a vegan meals policy for inmates, including former Prime Minister Najib Razak.

PETA Asia President, Jason Baker explained that going vegan in prison can reduce strain on public funds and promote empathy among inmates.

Sinar Harian

“With so much violence in the prisoners’ lives, let’s make sure it ends at mealtime. Will you please implement a vegan meals policy in Kajang Prison, for the former Prime Minister Najib Razak and other inmates?”

“Prisons that serve vegan meals report calmer populations and major savings. A jail in the US reported a cost reduction of over RM1.1 million when it switched to all-vegetarian food for its inmates, who thrived eating fresh, quality food. Vegan menus also slash healthcare costs, since animal-free foods protect against diet-related diseases. vegan foods promote empathy and non-violence,” he wrote.

 

Cruelty-free meals = Peaceful prisons?

PETA

In the letter, Baker further emphasised that introducing vegan meals in the prison could help foster a more compassionate environment, and even offered to develop vegan menu options for Kajang Prison.

“By refusing to serve the products of cruelty, prisons can help stop the cycle of violence. Malaysia, with its rich cultural heritage and increasing focus on sustainable and healthy living, is uniquely positioned to lead correctional reform in the region by prioritising compassionate dining,”

“After all, the only peaceful meal is a vegan one. By offering vegan meals in Kajang Prison, Malaysia can show the world that peace is possible — even in the hardest places. We would gladly assist your agency in creating balanced vegan menus,” he added.
